health care decision point not working

Hi,

i am doing a hospital model in health care..

there are two types of patients 1. normal 2. urgent case

the patients must come and register with receptionist. after registering the patients will be escorted by the receptionist to their respecting waiting rooms.(waiting rooms 1 and waiting room 2). and then again the receptionist will escort them to exam table.

the problem in the model is the decision point i kept in 30_triage is not working and after that the model is not working.they are not escorted by the receptionist to waiting rooms or to the exam table. i have uploaded the model

can anyone resolve the issue

thanks in advance

You have a few issues you need to fix:

  1. WaitingRoom1 has its Entrance Criteria set to "Allow Any Patient". This is causing patients to never be able to enter WaitingRoom2. Basically, you pretty much never want to choose this option. Change it to "Standard Entrance Criteria".
  2. Activities 31 and 32 should not be using Predecessors since you're starting them with the Decision Point in activity 30. So uncheck the Use Predecessors box in activities 31 and 32.
  3. Update the Predecessors field of activity 40 to be "31 OR 32" since you want 40 to start after a patient does 31 or 32.

Here's a model with all those fixes applied: hopital.fsm

However, in my opinion, this model is more complicated than it needs to be. Rather than use a decision point to route the patients to 2 different waiting rooms I would just use a single activity that uses a By Percentage option for the Patient Destination field. Here's a model where I've done that: simplifiedtrack.fsm

Also, I don't think you've scaled your floorplan correctly. You're stretching out the objects in your model to make them fit the floorplan, but that's just leaving you with an enourmous bed and registration desk that don't animate correctly. I would scale down the floorplan.

Thankyou so much @Matthew Gillespie It was really helpful to me.

As I am new to health care can you please guide me through how to use resource groups, item objects and infrastructure in health care engine library.

Is there any example simulation models or link to read and go through how to use the 3D obejcts, flowchart, pci and patient tracks.

Thankyou
